Each of us has a story, a journey and it is not always easy, but God gives grace.
Let us learn to bless the Lord for what he does for us, let us learn to lift up his holy name for his accompaniment every day.
Our eyes are so often closed to the blessings of our father, our ears sometimes refuse to hear that we are a chosen race, our mouths refrain from proclaiming God’s love for us.
When we look back, we can only celebrate the hand of the Lord in our lives.
Many of us were alcoholics, sickly, harlots … but the Lord has proven to us every time that where we come from does not determine what we will be.
Jesus comes from Nazareth, an empty, dirty, poor, useless city with parents without history, without a future, without influence.
The Bible tells us that Joseph was a carpenter, his mother gave birth to him in the fields but he was a special, particular, unique child.
He was a blessed child who attracted riches and treasures, he was the one who was to bring salvation.
People doubted him, people opposed him, they conspired against him, but he knew he had to go through this for his father’s will to be accomplished.
Even on the cross, in suffering, he implored God’s mercy for us.
Did he live a quiet time, certainly not, but he was always grateful to the Lord for his presence who never left him.
Joseph also had a sad journey, he was loved by his father, not by his brothers.
His elders found him pretentious, proud, smug, cumbersome.
Joseph also took advantage of his privileged place that his father gave him to taunt his brothers.
His elders got fed up and they decided to kill him, he finally sold him.
Joseph found himself a slave, servant, prisoner in a foreign land.
He surely suffered from the emotional wounds, he cried from the lack of affection, he had pain, bitterness, anger in him but he clung to God who raised his head and made him the second personality in a foreign country.
How is it possible?
The Bible tells us that nothing is impossible for God, he is the one who flattens the mountains in front of us and leads us.
So, today, when we look at ourselves, what do we see?
Are we the same as yesterday?
The word of God tells us that Abraham was a daddy’s son, he was attached to his father, it was his father who decided for him, it was his father who was his idol.
He had full confidence in his father but the Lord wants the place for him alone.
When he stripped Abraham of his support, he invited him to discover other horizons and gave him riches.
But despite his heritage, he had a problem, he wanted a child.
God remembered him, gave him possessions, and blessed his womb.
How not to say thank you to God?
How can we not recognize that he is the one who never abandons us?
How not to give him thanksgiving.
Genesis 15: 7 Yahweh said to him again, I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur into Chaldea, to give you this land to inherit.
Bless the Lord for the journey he has made you to take so far.
God makes a promise to Abraham, he tells him about a promised land where his descendants will settle after they come out of their captivity in Egypt.
And we are today through Abraham.
Bless the Lord,
Let us lift up his name and be grateful for all that God has done for us.

Good day
